There is a concern that certain devout portions of their population might push back progress on women's rights and gay rights. I, myself, would not want to see women being shackled into their homes and being forced to wear restrictive clothing. I wouldn't want to see gay marriage and protections be rolled back. I want to be able to walk into Subway and get a ham sandwich (something increasingly difficult in places like the UK). I don't want our cities to turn into the no-go zones of Stockholm or Bradford, or Copenhagen.


...and I wouldn't want Christians pulling that crap either.

The only usefulness in having someone like you around is that we can hear wacko theories that we otherwise would never hear about.  Can't get a ham sandwich in the UK because of Muslims?

I came bearing facts...

Sounds like they made a business decision to make a higher profit...
Sounds like there will be further "business decisions" that will curtail women's rights and gay rights coming really soon if society keeps going down this road...

It amazes me that so-called liberals celebrate the crumbling of Secular Modern Western Progress. After all the effort to eradicate religion from the public sphere, here it is creeping back. Give them an inch, a mile is taken.

It amazes me how much people that are racist refuse to admit it and smother themselves in the flag and liberty.
Wanting to protect women and gays =Racist. Good to know.

Please tell me where there are "no-go" zones in Copenhagen?

Why not the outcry against extremist evangelical Christians and Mormons who have the same beliefs who want to suppress women? Why only muslims? Because you're racist, just admit it kid.

Totally ignoring the fact I said earlier in this thread that I don't like it that Christians do it either, but continue  the straw man arguments.

Why would a restaurant in a predominately Muslim area bother to keep pork in stock? That's a waste of money when all or most of it will spoil before being sold.
I doubt restaurants in Kiryas Joel, New York, have ham sandwiches on the menu either.

Exactly.
It's just a business decision based on the demographics of the people they serve in their community. Period.
Just like business decisions not to bake cakes for gay couples or business decisions to have separate drinking fountains, right?

Stop using us (I'm talking about my Bi/Pan ness, not my being trans) as political footballs to bash another oppressed minority group. You've talked about how supporting us is "identity politics" for how long now?

Funny, considering Islamists (as well as other religious sects) have been using gays/bi’s as political footballs in the countries they control. Besides, they even prefer gay people transition as it’s much more acceptable to them than same sex partnerships. Perhaps, you can find common cause with them.

It's their faith in progress that leads them to believe Muslim immigrants will convert en masse to secular liberalism.  As soon as they begin to question this assumption, Democrats will turn more anti-Muslim than the Republicans.
What kind of “when they go low, we go high” delusion is that?

Hofoid, I can't take you all that seriously in your defense of LGBT and women's rights when your one source is the often very homophobic and mysogynistic Daily Mail

I doubt he actually cares about those groups, he's just using them as a way to try and kill all muslims.
Considering that I'm bisexual and a supporter of 2nd wave feminism, perhaps I have more at stake than the pro-Islamist, neoliberal, diversity Quota (even to the detriment of equal rights) gang.
